“Every candidate that I seem to like has major baggage.”
Reagan was a Hollywood actor that as Gov signed no fault divorcee and an abortion bill.
As RUSH said today- “Not even Reagan was perfect”.
I haven’t listened to Rush in years. Is he backing Cain now or still Romney?
“Reagan was a Hollywood actor that as Gov signed no fault divorcee and an abortion bill.”
Reagan was pro-life, even at that time, but was duped.
Here’s the story:
‘Others have suggested that Reagan flip-flopped on abortion; this is also false. He advocated a health exception (for the life of the mother) which, as he explained later, was exploited to include virtually anything. But he wasn’t pro-abortion.
Giuliani and Romney were. And they are struggling with it today. Reagan learned that the exception became the rule, and he would oppose abortion of any kind from then on. To compare this with those who emphatically defended abortion on demand (and federal funding no less, in Giuliani’s case) is nonsense.
Moreover, Reagan did all he could as president to follow through on his pro-life position. He instituted his Mexico City policy, preventing the use of federal funds for abortions abroad. His administration was directed to deny funds, wherever it could, for abortions. He was also part of an effort, led by Jesse Helms in the Senate, to amend the Constitution. There weren’t enough votes, but they tried.’
